Editorial Reviews

Review

Love (and hate) for Perez:

"The queen of mean."
-Rolling Stone

"A controversial gossipmonger with a poison pen."
-Forbes

"Love him or (he prefers) hate him...[Perez] has risen from the blogosphere to reap some of the same fame and noteriety as the entertainers he celebrates and humiliates daily... [He] has become a hard-to-ignore Hollywood player."
-The New York Times

"One of the most polarizing media figures since Howard Stern."
-L.A. Weekly

"Perez Hilton revels in his role as one of the most-hated figures in Hollywood."
-BusinessWeek

"The style of a catty, celebrity-obsessed seventh-grade girl."
-Advocate

About the Author

Well before Perez Hilton (the Miami-born Mario Lavandeira) grew his website, PerezHilton.com, into a Tinseltown franchise raking in 9 million page views a day, the self-proclaimed “Queen of All Media” knew exactly how Hollywood was changing. If you used to need an actual talent—acting, singing, playing a sport—in order to make it big, now you could become famous for being famous, and doing absolutely nothing at all. And anyone can do it; in other words, you too can be a Hilton!

Jared Shapiro is the News and Entertainment Director at Life & Style Weekly, and author of Going Corporate: Moving Up Without Screwing Up. He has appeared on VH1, Entertainment Tonight, E!, and Inside Edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hot Garbage, December 3, 2009

This review is from: Perez Hilton's True Bloggywood Stories: The Glamorous Life of Beating, Cheating, and Overdosing (Paperback)

This book is a total waste of paper. Everything you would want to know is already free through TMZ, ohnotheydidnt, wwttd, egotastic, iamnotobsessed, etc. If you care about celeb gossip then you already know these things. The only things that are original in this book are his "encounters" with REAL celebrities, and he just comes off as a famewhore. As for the title, anything that has to have TRUE as the largest text on the page probably isn't. Also, Bloggywood? Is that supposed to be cute? It just sounds stupid.

Garbage. DO NOT BUY.

Perez is so self promotional that it poisons his insight. I agree with the other reviewers who say that you can get all of this on blogs for free.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pure Tripe! Rehashed "gossip"!!!, December 16, 2009

This review is from: Perez Hilton's True Bloggywood Stories: The Glamorous Life of Beating, Cheating, and Overdosing (Paperback)

I was able to get an advance copy of this book. Unfortunately, I read it. If you're looking for a well written, funny, insightful book on Hollywood gossip, don't buy this book. Every story that's in it has been on other websites, i.e. TMZ. There's nothing new here and Perez tries to make it sound like he "broke" these stories....not! I really disliked this book. Don't waste your money.
